“Ashiyarahen,” a local media outlet focused on the Ashiya area, appears to have launched in November. Its first free paper feature is “Ashiyagawa no Koibito.”

Hanshin Railway’s June “Hot! HANSHIN” free paper spotlights the area around Hanshin Uchide Station, featuring local spots like 鮮華, うちで食堂, 魚 酒 いちえ, and CAKE NATURE ASHIY.
